Summary

Han Yu, a down-and-out disciple of the Medicine Sect, happens upon the legacy of the Ghost Doctor and gains extraordinary powers such as soul-capture and ghost-eye arts; calling himself the Mad Physician, he specializes in stubborn and bizarre ailments. He takes a security job at Jishan Hospital and deals with policewoman Feng Jiaojiao, hospital director Gu Lingshan, and others, establishing himself in the city through his medical skill and cunning. The story opens with a dispute in the hospital's security team and escalates until humans, gods, ghosts, and demons all come seeking treatment, drawing him even into conflicts between the Heavenly Court and the Western pantheon; in the end Han Yu becomes emperor of the three realms yet still descends to the mortal world to practice medicine and seek beauties. The book centers on light, gratifying urban face-slapping and wondrous medical arts, interspersed with interactions among several female characters.

Editor's review

A typical urban supernatural power-fantasy: the protagonist Han Yu rides his Ghost Doctor legacy to slap faces, heal the sick, and subdue all factions, fast-paced with dense gratification beats—suited to readers who want to relax and unwind. The opening hospital security-team episodes have a touch of street-level comedy, and combining medicine with gods and ghosts has some novelty. The weakness is that female characters are written formulaically, and later the plot balloons from the city straight into a three-realm power struggle, with rough logic and characterization; readers who want rigorous worldbuilding may be disappointed.

Reading tips

  1. The first few chapters focus on hospital security-team daily life; use them to judge whether the flavor suits you
  2. Read it as stress-relief power-fantasy and don't overthink the later power inflation
  3. If you dislike multiple-heroine interactions, skip those side threads and focus on the medical main line
